Those with a sense of justice are strong.
Those with a smile are not defeated.
No matter what happens,
with unyielding optimism, let's advance,
overcoming any and all
the billows of obstacles we might face!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"I'd like to share with you some words of the great Chinese military strategist Zhuge Liang (181–234), who is portrayed in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
"'Though you may be treated with deference, never become conceited.'[1] This is a lesson that top leaders, in particular, must reflect on every day.
"'Though you may be entrusted with authority, never become dictatorial.' In other words, you must always seek out the counsel and opinions of others, and not become autocratic and overbearing.
"'Never try to hide the help you receive from others.' And likewise, never forget to have appreciation for those who lend you their support and assistance.
"There have been many times when a single young women's or women's division member has protected the Soka Gakkai. I'll never forget the profound debt we owe to these precious individuals."
SGI Newsletter No. 9344, from the 15th Soka Gakkai Headquarters Leaders Meeting, 6th Feb., 2008, featured during the 15th Soka Gakkai Headquarters Leaders Meeting of the New Era of Worldwide Kosen-rufu, 9th Jan., 2016, translation released 21st Jan. 2016
[1] The quotes here and below are mainly from a Chinese compilation titled Zhuge Liang ji (Zhuge Liang Anthology).
